About Center for Discovery – Portland
The Center for Discovery – Portland is part of an organization that has over 20 facilities nationwide. This location in Portland, Oregon, specializes in outpatient treatment for eating disorders (ED). The Center recognizes that eating disorders often have intricate connections to mental health challenges and substance abuse. With a focus on the relationship between these co-occurring disorders, the Center provides customized, compassionate treatment designed to help their clients achieve long-term recovery and an enhanced quality of life.
Because of the common co-occurrence of these conditions, the Center takes a whole person approach to treating not just isolated symptoms but the entire individual. Their trauma informed staff draws on evidence based therapies like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP) and mindfulness to help clients cultivate better relationships with food and themselves.
The facility is set in a quiet wooded area in Oregon, providing a peaceful context for recovery. The clinic’s building has been designed to foster warmth and comfort, with specialized therapy rooms suitable for both individual and group therapy as well as mindfulness and relaxation practices.
The facility provides multiple levels of care to match different needs such as a partial hospitalization program (PHP). This program provides structured, intensive daytime treatment while allowing clients to return home in the evenings. They also have an intensive outpatient program which is a flexible treatment schedule for clients who need less intensive support but are trying to maintain work, school or any other responsibilities in their daily lives while receiving the care they need. The Center’s treatment options also include a private group for patients with binge eating disorders.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
